Pat,
Sounds like your district has the right idea. No sense putting all
that equipment out there to be wasted, broken or whatever.
A question, are they providing training opportunities ? That's where
I got into my "internet in instruction" class. By taking the class I got
My second computer, laser printer, digital camera, etc. You can check
